Laser Hair Removal

Amerejuve has 8 convenient locations, 6 in the Greater Houston area and 2 in Atlanta. We use Candela equipment which is the gold standard in professional laser hair removal. Our equipment has been the leader in the industry for over 20 years. This dual laser platform is safe and effective for all skin types achieving results faster in the most comfortable way possible. In addition to the laser being powerful, it is also gentle, using a cooling spray that keeps your skin cool as the treatment takes place. Our staff of professionals are experienced and strive to deliver the highest standard of service to surpass your expectations. We also offer a Lifetime Guarantee that will allow you to continue getting laser hair removal treatments at a fraction of the normal cost if you want additional sessions after completing your 6th treatment.

During the procedure, the laser emits a beam of light that is attracted to the pigment in the hair follicle that is in an active growth cycle. Hair follicles in the active (anagen) growth cycle have more pigment than follicles in the inactive cycles of growth. Therefore, they are able to absorb the energy delivered by the laser. Those hair follicles that absorb energy from the laser will be damaged. Hairs that were present in the follicles at the time of treatment will fall out, and future hair growth will be impaired. Not all hairs are actively growing at the same time so a single procedure will not treat all of the hair follicles in the area. As the follicles in the resting cycle return to the active growth cycle, you may notice some hair growth in the region. This is why multiple treatments are usually required to treat a single area completely.

We recommend 6 – 12 laser hair treatments to achieve 70-80% hair reduction. More treatments may be recommended to effectively treat all hair follicles. Men typically will need more sessions than women due to hormones and more growth overall. No laser can achieve 100% permanent hair reduction because hair growth is a lifelong, hormonal process. At Amerejuve, we offer an extended lifetime guarantee for additional sessions if needed. Laser hair removal is offered in a package starting at 6 treatments to effectively treat all hair follicles in the growth cycle. We offer a lifetime discounted rate for additional touch up treatments when needed to maintain your results.

Shave all areas you want treated the night before or morning of your appointment. No lotions or oils on your skin. We suggest coming to your appointment with no makeup and clean skin. We can remove makeup or deodorant but if it is not properly removed the laser can burn the skin. No tanning in a booth or in the sun 2 weeks before your treatment. Please stop waxing at least 2 weeks before your first appointment. No antibiotics 14 days before your treatment. If you need to start a course of antibiotics you will need to reschedule your appointment. No saunas, hot tubs, or excessive exercise the day of your appointment.

After a laser treatment, the area may feel warm and appear pink. You may experience PFE (perifollicular edema)
which is swelling in the hair follicles which indicates that energy was sufficiently absorbed and the
follicles are slowly being disabled. PFE resembles little mosquito bites and itchiness and redness is normal.
We recommend applying aloe vera to cool your skin and hydrocortisone cream if you are experiencing itchiness. You
should also limit sun exposure on the areas treated by the laser before and after your treatments. It is also important
to use sunscreen daily following any procedure. You should not use any products that may irritate your skin such as
alpha-hydroxy acids or harsh astringents. In addition, you should avoid tweezing or waxing of the treatment area.

You may notice some hair that appears on the surface of your skin within 7 – 10 days following treatment. These
hairs are usually those that have fallen out of hair follicles impaired during treatment. However you will notice some
new hair growth within a few weeks, as hair follicles that were inactive during treatment reenter the active growth
phase. Only follicles currently in the active growth phase are affected by laser hair removal treatments, and different
follicles enter this phase at different times. Therefore, you will most likely undergo multiple treatments spaced
approximately 4 – 6 weeks apart. Although the number of treatments varies by individual, most individuals receive
approximately 6 treatments.
The results from a laser hair removal procedure depend on your skin tone, your hair type, and the growth phase of
the hair being treated. It is important to realize that laser hair removal will likely not prevent hair from growing

completely. However, laser hair removal can reduce hair growth significantly over time giving your skin the smooth
appearance that you desire.
